Stenhousemuir vs Airdrie United preview - Stenny add Hunter in search of win
Posted Saturday, January 22, 2011 by PA
Stenhousemuir add young midfielder Michael Hunter to their squad for the visit of Airdrie United.
Hunter is back but the game has came too soon for the injured pair of Scott Gibb and Simon Lynch.
The Warriors struck in injury time to move five points clear of Dumbarton at the foot of the table last weekend, but after the Sons defeated Alloa in midweek Ochilview boss David Irons knows that his side are only one defeat away from hitting bottom spot.
Irons said: "It was great to win last week, however we never got too much time to enjoy it as Dumbarton are breathing right down our necks again.
"A win will have us looking up the way and that is what I want us to be doing."
Airdrie are again without captain Paul Lovering through suspension.
Lovering sits out and fellow full-back Jamie Bain is struggling with a knock.
Diamonds boss Jimmy Boyle has added the recently signed pair of former Dundee United defender Craig Hill and ex-Junior Adam Fairweather to his squad as cover.
Boyle is looking for his men to build on fine performances against Brechin City in the league and Morton in the Scottish Cup to grab a third win of the season over the Warriors.
Boyle said: "We have played well in both of our recent games, however we have let the lead slip in both of them so the message to the players in this game is to get ahead and stay ahead."
